Hello Everyone!! I am almost 51 yrs old (5/16) I had my RNY on 12/8/14 and have lost 80 lbs in total!! Off all the BP medications and have complete resolution of the sleep apnea that keep me in a fog of exhaustion for 2 years!!! I have no regrets (except maybe that I should have done this 10 yrs ago) The hardest part of the journey was getting through the maze of demands made by my insurance to get the approval. I just bought new scrubs for work (I am a nurse) and lo and behold, size 2X, (this is significant because I was a 5X at time of surgery) I am thrilled, and so happy to feel well. It's so good to meet you all, and to have a group of people who understand my point of reference!!! Here's to being born in the 60's but learning to live in the 2000's!!!

I hit an unbelievable stall at about 3 weeks, it seemed like I was eating nothing, but the scale would not move. I stopped watching the scale, worked really hard a getting in my water/protein and after almost 3 weeks the numbers started going down. I am now 14 weeks post op and down 65 lbs. my only advice is stop watching the scale and get in those liquids, it works, it really works.
